And she's got something that I want too

Baby and I are through
C#
I've been down to the bottom
Bm C# F#m
With a bad, bad man
C#
Down to the bottom, babe
Bm C# D
With a bad, bad man

Lay me down with your gentle hand

[Verse]
C# Bm C#
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
F#m C#
And first he said this darkness
Bm C#
Darlin', it was untrue
D C# F#m D
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]
C# F#m
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
[Verse]
C#
And I had a dream so black
Bm C# F#m
That I could not tell

Oh, honey, I had a dream so dark

That I could not tell

But I know that's just as well

And I don't know, babe
Bm C# F#m
Just where you've been
C#
I don't know, darlin'
Bm C#
Just where you've been
D C#
But I've hung myself heavy here
D C# F#m F#m
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
[Verse]
C#
I thought that man, babe
Bm C# F#m
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
Bm C#
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]
D C#
But he had no anger
F#
For you or for me
D C#
And, babe, I swear
F#m
That man never even knew I was here
[Instrumental]
C# Bm C# F#m Bm C# D C# F#m
[Verse]
C#
Some of these friends of mine
Bm C# F#m
How I miss them so
C#
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
Bm C#
How I miss them so
[Chorus]
D C#
But some of these, others beg
D C#
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
F#m
And deathly roads
[Verse]
C#
Take me down to your river
Bm C# F#m
I want to see how it runs
C#
Down to your river, darlin'
Bm C# F#m
I want to know just how it runs
D C#
But if that man waits on the path
D C# F#m D
Then I know for good that I'm done
C#
And I got a feeling
D C# F#m
That man, he's just begun
